Thank you so much Ian, you really gave me the
courage and guidance to try thing I would've never otherwise
attempted on my own. Thanks so much for your patience it was a
brilliant experience and I hope to impress you some time in the
future.

My task was to help him with Figure 8's
flying a Raptor 50, as he was consistently flying sideways on all of
his right turns.
Hi Ian,
Just a thank you for your help yesterday your advice has helped me
out.
Cheers

I've just bought my first heli - Belt CP v2 and it's still in the
box! I wanted to learn to fly first using a Phoenix simulator.
Thankfully, I had a 1-on-1 training session with Ian. Firstly, he
gave me the settings to set up a heli on Phoenix, making it easier for
me to hover. He was very patient with my lack of ability. I believe
that with the help Ian's given me, not only will I be able to fly the
simulator but before long, I will be able to fly the real thing!
Thank you Ian, very much!

This has been my first training even if
virtual. I must say that I greatly appreciate your help and I was very
happy about your availability. I have to apologize, but I will bother
you again because I have plenty of questions, and by the way I really
like your friendship.
Many, Many Thanks from Belgium

I
wasn't too sure how this would work out when I first decided to give
Ian's training sessions a go, but I was really struggling to hover my
Belt CP V2, so I thought I would try it out anyway.
Ian first of all showed had me watch him
hovering the quite large and stable BO105, and watch the transmitter as
he was hovering. I noticed straight away that the cyclic stick was
hardly ever still, moving only a little bit, but in all directions.
I then got to try to replicate his hover
while he watched me, and I was quite amazed that I got it off the ground
a lot better than I have been doing. The thing that really got me
going was when he mentioned that all inputs are typically a very short
correction followed immediately by needing to centralise the stick
again, or even counter the last input the opposite way to stop it over
correcting.
We spent about 45 minutes together, and at
the end of it, I could hold that BO105 pretty well stable in ground
effect. I also had the chance to try it a little higher, so it was out
of GE, and the difference was quite amazing.
I would certainly recommend Ian's training
to anyone that is struggling as I was, and after lots more practice in
Phoenix, I hope to be able to hover my Belt safely and confidently in
the not too distant future.
He has told me which settings I need to
change as I improve, so as to make the helicopter more realistic, and
then I will be ready to try it for real.
He is also quite willing to answer any
other questions that you may have as well.
Thanks a lot Ian, a great help for sure.
